Animal cells and plant cells are really similar. They each have the golgi apparatus to package and deliver materials within the cell. Also, they both have a nucleus, the control center of a cell. Within the nucleus there is a nucleolus that creates ribosomes, chromatin that holds information, and a nuclear envelope that controls the materials that pass in and out of the nucleus. The ribosome create proteins for the cell. Surrounding the nucleus are the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. These create the materials that the golgi apparatus ships. Likewise, they both use mitochondria that create energy out of food and proteins. Furthermore, both plant and animal cells have a vacuole to hold water, food, and wastes. In addition, they also

While the animal cell has lysosomes, the plant cell has lytic vacuoles. They both do the same thing; they digest excess or worn out organelles and food particles. Even though the animal cell has microtubules, the plant cell has chloroplasts. The microtubules move around all of the organelles in a plant cell including mitochondria, like a conveyer belt. The chloroplasts use photosynthesis to make food, energy, and heat. The animal cell has centrioles, however, the plant cell has a cell wall. The centrioles are mainly involved in cell division or reproduction. The cell wall supports and holds together the plant cell. While the animal cell has a secretory vesicle, the plant cell does not. The secretory vesicle is the package that the golgi apparatus sends through the cell. Also, plant cells have much larger vacuoles that are mainly used to hold water. In conclusion, animal and plant cells are extremely similar, but with a few differences. To wrap it up, they both have peroxisomes, golgi apparatuses, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, a nucleus, a nucleolus, chromatin, a nuclear envelope, mitochondria, a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and vacuoles. The parts that are unique to an animal cell are lysosomes, microtubules, centrioles, and secretory vesicles. The parts that are unique to a plant cell are a cell wall, chloroplasts, lytic vacuoles, and a much larger vacuole. Both animal and plant cells are very complex when it comes to their
